The amount annually spent by the European
countries to keep up their armies and nayies is
els, LOO 900. The amount spent by America is
about cSOOO, 900. Adding, therefore, the cost for
war debts and for ornaments together, It win be
seen that Europe pays E394, go, 600, and America
clS 600 600 per annum. How possibly can Europe
hone to hold her own against her Transatlantic
rival when she handicaps herself, In the struggle
